12 Step Community The 12 Step Community is comprised of many anonymous programs. Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, Cocaine Anonymous, Al Anon, Nar Anon, just to name a few. 12 Step Recovery started in 2007 as an idea and has now grown to have many members throughout the world. We are excited to invite you to join our 12 Step Community and begin to meet each other and have conversations via NA chat or AA chat. We also have the ability for anyone in any 12 step fellowship to maintain their personal recovery blog. Our 12 Step Forum is a place to share opinions thoughts and ideas. In today's technology, a 12 Step Community is not fun without the ability to set up individual profiles with pictures and videos.

Membership is FREE. We look forward to meeting you online.


  12 Step Community
12 Step Forum An internet forum or message board is an online discussion. Those of us who are active in the 12 Step Fellowship are familiar with being in the rooms sharing our experience, strength, and hope of recovery. The Forum on 12 Step Recovery is designed for all to see and only members of the 12 Step Community to be able to post threads (which are online and ongoing discussions) and comment on other peoples discussions. We look forward to seeing you in the forum.


  12 Step Forum
12 Step Chat Our Chat feature is designed for members only. When you set your profile up as a member, you will be able to cruise around the site while chatting with your friends. One of the coolest features is that you can chat with your friends, or meet new ones from all over the world. The internet allows those of us in recovery to chat with anyone, anywhere, anytime. So invite your friends and chat for a while. Looking forward to talking to you soon.


  12 Step Chat
12 Step Blogs In the Fellowship of Narcotics Anonymous and the Fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, as with all 12 Step Fellowships, we are thought early on to journal. A blog is like a personal website that is maintained by one person sharing their thoughts and feelings with regular entries. Being a part of the 12 Step Recovery Community allows you to have a personal blog, and in addition to writing and sharing events, you can share pictures of yourself and things that you like to do and also share videos. Most Blogs will have a combination of your likes, dislikes, events you attend, and anything else you feel like sharing from a written perspective. Looking forward to hearing your story.

12 Step Recovery Features and Recovery Video

We have a new 12 Step Recovery Podcast on the feed located to the right. Ian Y. from England has shared with us, so check out his story and subscribe to the recovery Podcast feed. We’ll be posting new recovery speakers every Monday. We need the community to keep this alive, so send us your speaker .mp3 to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Remember, we’re building a recovery resource here and we have a lot of features that aren’t getting much love. Hit up the 12 Step Recovery Calendar at 12 Step Calendar and post your recovery birthday. You can also put any recovery events in your area or meetings in your area. The goal is to fill the calendar up with information for anyone to be able to connect on any given day.

We had so many request to put up a live chat room so that any addict in the world could talk to another addict at any time. We created a place for an alcoholics anonymous meeting in the chat room, a narcotics anonymous meeting in the chat room, and a general 12 step recovery room for all 12 step members who like to chat. Once this was live, we had a request from South America to create a Spanish chat room, so we did. Now members are popping in and out of the chat room and seem to be slowly but surely connecting.

12 Step Recovery Video. We are working every day to bring a great new feature to the 12 step site, recovery videos. We should have our own videos up by the end of the year and soon we’ll be able to allow you guys to upload your own video as well. So keep an eye out for our recovery video channel.

It’s a great day to be clean!

NA - How it Works


If you want what we have to offer, and are willing to make the effort to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps. These are the principles that made our recovery possible.

  1. We admitted that we were powerless over our addiction, that our lives had become unmanageable.
  2. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
  3. We made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
  4. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

AA - How It Works

Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path. Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average.

12 step alternatives such as SMART Recovery are helping those individuals that have an aversion to the twelve step philospphy. Needed information on alternatives for those seeking alcohol treatment programs and drug rehab are here.

Q. How do I contact SMART Recovery®?

Drug Rehab Information


There are many free options to get help for substance abuse and drug dependency in todays market. 12 Step Programs such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous are free. However, many people need detox and a treatment facility. This web page is written to help guide some one through the drug rehab process.

 

Intervention

An Interventionist specializes with addicts and their families stuggling with with life threatening problems such as drug addiction. Drug intervention, alcohol intervention, eating disorders, trauma and crisis are very dificult things to face alone. Many families can hit their bottom with the addicts behavior and get the person suffering the help they need. However, there are times when an intervention is necessary. Usually an interventionist is called when the family

Creating a resource page is not as easy as one might think. I have chosen to link only to sites that offer 12 step information on 12 step programs or 12 step alternative programs, non-profit programs, research sites that specialize in addiction treatment or directories that are free or very low cost that help the public find drug rehab programs.  However, you may register and put a link to your site or post in the forum and put a link to your site.
